    Welcome,
    Even today the word Carborundum is tossed around in circles of conversation with regard to sharpening stones and industrial abrasives. There was a good chance that your father and your grandfather had items around the home that were made by this company. Follow the link below and enjoy an article written by Straight Razor Place member Martin103 on the history of the Carborundum Company.

    Covid first hand experience

    Those of us who are older and our (probably) now deceased parents remember diseases that wiped out whole populations so a vaccine was like a miracle.

    Covid first hand experience

    I am thinking how experiences like these might influence our elders and even myself that remember them.

    Best way to smooth a scratched strop?

    If you have a rolling pin that might do the trick. The wood ones and marble ones work best, silicon not so much.

    My brother shaves with Wild Bill Hickok's straight razor (well, almost)

    Boy, what a bunch or hooey. Everyone knows Wild Bill shaved with a Remington Electric Razor.

    Har har.
